I hope they will feel the desperate, cold chill of terror while they sit in the rear turret of a WW2 bomber flying over occupied territory at night. Straining everything to catch sight of the dark shape of an enemy plane intent on your, and your crew's destruction. Hopelessly staring straight at the blinding full moon from where the attack will most likely come.
And then the firing starts. -

Despite being arrested as a spy, #forgottenhero #GeertruidaWijsmullerMeijer, aka Truus, personally persuaded #AdolfEichmann to let her take 600 Jewish children on the last ship out of Holland to GB.
Great to interview #MikeLevy at #JewishBookWeek #histodon @histodons -

I hope your father came home and made some sort of recovery after his ordeal. Iknow know many bore the scars for decades. I have a blog post you might like to read, and if yoy send me some of his details I can perhaps add him too. -
Today is the anniversary of the fall of #Singapore in 1942. A chap who had married a cousin of mine was captured there.
He was still working on the #BurmaRailway when the final piece of line was laid and the railway was complete. He died the next day.
Phyllis re-married after the war and I recently made contact with a descendant of hers. If Walter had not died Phyllis would not have re-married and we would not be cousins!

“A Black Sabbath audience was not our audience… but we knew how to sell it. We were never being serious musos – it was always, ‘We’ll entertain you, so you’ll enjoy it!’” The first two years of Gentle Giant
From hating their name to challenging 15,000 people to a fight, the Shulman brothers’ battle for success left them badly bruised after four albumshttps://www.loudersound.com/features/gentle-giant-first-two-years

I've just put a new 3rd cousin on my Family Tree, John William Sabey born in Huntingdonshire in 1884. He was called up in 1916 and sent to France. Towards the end of Sept 1918 he was wounded 5 times in just 4 days!
The 1st 4 were dealt with on the front line & straight back into action. the 5th was a shrapnel wound to the thigh, off to the Casualty Clearing Station and then the Field Hospital for 12 weeks.
In spite of all this he lived to be 101, one tough old bird! -

If you want real life drama see my blog. All true stories of unsung and unremembered heroes.
Try 'Not your ordinary dinner lady' for a Welsh story and 'Snatched from the jaws of death' for a remarkable WW2 tale from Belgium.
